"– Full Hunter’s Moon or Full Harvest Moon – October This full Moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes." -The Farmer's Almanac
The Full Harvest Moon is Taurus on October 27th (5:05am PDT) is at perigee and zyzygy, making it the third Supermoon in a row. Appearing closer to the earth and larger, it will shine its lunar energy on matters concerning mystery and beauty. This is the night we dance with abandon, shed our inhibitions, and celebrate the earth's last harvest. Supermoons carry the astrological punch up to six months after the initial fireworks clear. Make no mistake about it, this orb is vacillating between shadow (Scorpio) and substance (Taurus).
Being walloped with energetic moonbeams in these two opposing signs awakens volatility, as things below the surface emerge to be resolved. Both Taurus and Scorpio are known for their stubborn earth and water natures suggesting something emotionally that has been brewing for a long time is requiring a breakthrough, causing a breakdown, or is the final straw.
Full Supermoons like this are a wake up call to dispense with the theatrics and move on. Anything could come out of the closet now: addictions, secrets, surprises, repressed behavior, etc. The shadowy side of Scorpio is highlighting what needs to be made manifest as the picture in the puzzle is calling to be completed and put away. Expect the unexpected over the next few days. It may not be good news but it is news we can use. However, with Taurus in the picture, one may get a dose of surprising thoughtfulness, tenderness, and comforting as a karmic reward. It may cause a re-thinking of a rigid position.
Taurus, the sign concerned with beauty, sensuality, and security is operating out of its shadow side. Being dazzled by appearances can make us forget about the substance we are really seeking. An impressive display may blind us to the fact we are blowing kisses to a figment of our own creation. Am I chasing shadows as a diversion from what I need to be focusing on instead?
More than ever the light of this Taurus Full Supermoon is revealing suppressed feelings, unconscious desires, and the impediments along the way. Is it the mystery we find so charming or the charm we find so mysterious?
Happy Birthday Scorpios!
